What motivates us?

[Yoni]

..to visit Literotica bb and chat?

Is it a form of escapism from the humdrum of our daily lives?

Is it a coping mechanism that allows us to function between two levels of existence?

Is it a place where we can be what we cannot be in our real lives?

Is it an exploration into aspects of sexuality?

Is it a place where , having made some connection with other minds and emotions , we come back to ?

Is it a place where we have made friends or grown fond of some people and a place to hang out?

Is a place where we hoped to find emotional attachments to fill a void ? Is it isolation, anxiety or depression?

Is it an outlet to vent ? Or a place where we exchange ideas and points of view which perhaps we cant possibly talk about with our family or friends?

Is it a place that allows us to speak our minds freely without the fear of repurcussions?

Is it a place where we have found a sense of belonging ?

It's my refugee status that brings me to this camp.

Tiggs yells at me if I don't come around once in a while. lol

Seriously, she sends me links to threads that might interest me and then I think... "Wow, I haven't been to Lit in while" and then I come spread my "joy"-- Note the sarcasm in the word joy.

 

[Yoni]

where were you dislodged..opps..read that as dislocated from?

 

[freescorfr]

I came Yoni because I hadn't written more than a few words in ten years or more. I've been stimulated by the board and the fun and the range in many domains of all the people here.
I couldn't force myself to write every day to get going again - but here it's possible to learn to hit the keyboard again. I tell my wife and kids, "I'm off to work now".

 

[erosman]

It's more of a figurative dislocation. The emotional detachment that occurs when you stand facing everyone in the elevator. It's the normal abnormalties.

I find the board an interesting place. Some people I agree with others I dont. However when I find a job I doubt that I will be here as much

 

[riff]

I think it has become a form of therapy for me. But when one is in therapy, everything becomes therapy. In a way.

I love it. And there are some people here whom I adore.

I like to write. I like ideas. It's almost like an interactive journal. In a way.

Everything: In a way.

 

[SINthysist]

people out here are scarce and not very exciting...

Not that I would ever get tired of talking about the weather, crops, livestock, and why Massey-Furgesson went out of business.

My motivation

Well, I do not use the chat function. I like the BB. I like to exchange ideas and experiences with like (and unilike) minded individuals, hoping to meet new friends and play pals.

I thought this genre would be a less judgmental forum for diverse ideas and experiences.

[unclej]

[Quiet_Cool]

Wait a minute? Free beer and pretzels?!!

My original reason for coming to LIT was to read the stories and poetry as a diversion to the fear and lonliness brought on by September 11th (my girlfriend suggested some "erotica" would distract me!).

After I grew tired of reading, I entered LIT chat, where I "played", again as a relief from the day to day upsetments in my life.

Suddenly I met the man who became the love of my life online AND offline! My reasons then for coming to LIT were to spend time with him.

I then discovered the boards, and have been "stuck" here ever since! The boards have become a world-wide newspaper, a release for things that trouble or confuse me, and a great way to keep up with the folks I became friendly with.

Most importantly it's been an additional and wonderful way to keep my online communication going with my Oman.

Connecting with people, from all walks of life, from many different places.....And if you are lucky, meeting that special someone.....

 

[Monazwx]

Motivation???

It's fun. The people are great. My brain gets exercise here.

(And most importantly, when I'm here, I'm not in class.)

I came first for the stories then discovered the BB.

As shallow as it might seem to some I like being able to use "fuck" as much as humanly possible.
Mirrors my RL speech more closely.
Seriously though, I like the atmosphere of the BB, it can be a quite a stimulating place.
In more ways than one.
